Friday, 23 April 2004 Pix Of The Day: Trash Collecting Elephant Day CREDIT: © Ian Scott-Parker/CAMwrangler.com WHERE: Hurricane, Utah, USA. WHAT: local excitement of trash collecting day. MAP: Hurricane, Utah, USA.

As the process was repeated, in the opposite direction up the other side of the street, the reason for the replacement elephant in the last couple of visits could be clearly seen: the front driving side fender had been bashed, and then repaired. Mildred, it's a jungle out there, I tell you… or a desert, at least. Smell Skid-Doo Any Other Way

Thumbnail click pops-up larger image. ![]() ![]() During our web search we came across Kurt Schwehr's web site. Kurt, it seems, has done work connected with the 'Mars Rover' project, and in 1998 was in Devon Island, Nunavut Territory, Canada, between Baffin and Ellesmere Islands, for the Terrain Modeling of an Arctic Impact Crater part of the NASA Haughton-Mars Project. Devon Island, presumably not counting visiting researchers, is the largest uninhabited island in the world. We had misspelled 'Ski-Doo' as 'Skid-doo', but looking at that picture in Kurt's gallery, well, we're not so sure that we were too far adrift! |
